Editing Authorizations 

Use

You can define and edit authorizations for access to objects in the Enterprise Services Repository. In the navigation area of the Enterprise Services Builder, you can select the objects for which you want to edit the authorizations.

These activities are usually performed by a system administrator.

To restrict authorizations to a particular object selection, you can do the following:

●      Select objects of a directory

●      Select objects of a software component version

●      Select objects of a namespace

The system first checks authorizations for directories and then authorizations for software component versions and namespaces. If no authorizations are defined, the default setting takes effect.

At present, you cannot restrict authorizations to particular object types (data types, for example).

You can define that authorizations are propagated to underlying directories, or from a software component version to namespaces of the software component version.

You have the option of defining authorizations by using user roles. The system checks for each object whether authorizations exist that are defined using user roles, then applies these.

Prerequisites

When defining authorizations, you access users, roles, and groups from central user management.
